南卡获批提高“海伦”飓风联邦分担比例：从75%升至90%
哥伦比亚——南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特10月8日宣布，特朗普总统已批准该州的申请，将联邦应急管理局（FEMA）"公共援助"项目在飓风"海伦"灾后中的联邦分担比例从75%提高到90%。
麦克马斯特说："南卡罗来纳州为从2024年'海伦'飓风的破坏中恢复重建付出了巨大努力。提高后的联邦分担比例将减轻南卡和我们社区的财政负担。"州应急管理部主任金·斯滕森表示，南卡社区在灾后恢复中已取得显著进展，但工作尚未完成，这笔资金将为州与地方政府继续完成符合条件的恢复项目提供重要财务减负。
FEMA 公共援助项目向符合条件的州与地方政府以及部分私立非盈利组织报销灾难相关费用，包括残骸清理、紧急防护措施、道路桥梁修复、公共建筑与基础设施修复、公用设施维修等。FEMA 的减灾援助还可帮助社区降低未来灾害风险，如抬高洪水易发区的房屋。

South Carolina Wins Increase in Federal Cost Share for Hurricane Helene Recovery to 90%
COLUMBIA — Governor Henry McMaster announced on October 8 that President Donald J. Trump has approved South Carolina's request to increase FEMA's federal cost share for Public Assistance following Hurricane Helene from 75% to 90%.
"South Carolina has worked tirelessly to recover and rebuild following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in 2024," McMaster said. "This increased federal cost share will help reduce the financial burden on South Carolina and our communities as we continue recovery work." South Carolina Emergency Management Division Director Kim Stenson said communities have made significant progress, but the work is not finished, and the increased share provides important financial relief as state and local governments complete eligible recovery projects.
FEMA's Public Assistance program reimburses eligible state and local governments and certain private nonprofits for disaster-related costs, including debris removal, emergency protective measures, road and bridge repairs, public building and infrastructure repairs and utility repairs. FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance also helps communities reduce future disaster risk, such as elevating homes in flood-prone areas.
